Have You Ever Made or Eaten Corn Chowder and/or Corn Pudding?

A couple of weeks ago I made corn chowder for the first time in years. It's easy and it was good. One can of Campbells condensed potato soup, milk filled to almost the top of the can, 15 oz can of corn drained and sauteed in a little butter (or I use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray, which gives a little salty taste without the sodium). After sauteeing the corn, pour in the condensed soup and milk and mix well. I added a bit of frozen onion-pepper combo for color, a sprinkle of paprika and about 1/2 pack of Splenda per bowl. If you use sugar, you can add about a 1/2 tablespoon to the pan.

One of the first neighbors I met when I moved here 53 years ago was already friends with my parents who had moved here first. She'd invite us over for special occasion dinners. One of her specialties was corn pudding. OMG...so good! She'd also bring it to our community cook outs. I tried making it but it didn't come out nearly as good as hers, so I didn't make it again.

I've posted this video before and have made it a number of times. I don't add whole corn kernels, just the can of cream style corn, no sugar and I use vegetarian Better Than Bullion. This is very good but have to be careful not to cook the potatoes with too much water if you want the soup thick because the cream corn adds more liquid than I expected. I like it thick. And I don't add bacon or oil.

 
Make corn pudding a lot...💕 it!
 

wow, that sounds delicious! I know someone who makes a corn 'souffle' , of sorts and she uses creamed corn, sour cream, and a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix and a beaten egg and maybe some milk....

OH!I just found the recipe at Jiffy Original Jiffy Cornbread Casserole - 100KRecipes

My neighbor in NJ made the BEST cornbread I ever ate. She used Real corn meal !

The next time I make a meal with Jiffy or real corn meal, I might throw in some jalapeño pepper slices.

Corn chowder was a regular part of our family meals back in the 30's -40's. Don't know mom/s ingredients back then but I always enjoyed it and have continued to enjoy the Campbell's recipe of today.
 
Never had corn chowder or pudding, but, My mother made the best corn fritters and always had creamed corn on hand.
I keep forgetting to look for creamed corn when out shopping.
 
I make corn pudding for Thanksgiving, although it may be something different than what you're presenting. Some people call it scalloped corn.


2 eggs
1 - 15 oz. can creamed corn
1 - 15 oz. can whole kernel corn (undrained)
1 cup sour cream
1 - 8 oz. pkg Jiffy cornbread mix
2 Tbsp. sugar
½ cup (1 stick)melted butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375.
Spray a 2 quart casserole dish with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs slightly.
Add sour cream, melted butter, sugar and corn. Mix.
Fold in cornbread mix.
Place in prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle cheese on top.*
Bake 45 – 60minutes until set through.

*Optional: Mix shredded cheese in with everything.
When done baking, top with:
Mix ¾ cup unseasoned breadcrumbs with 3 Tbsp. melted butter.
Sprinkle over the top of baked casserole.
Return to oven for15 minutes.

I leave out the sugar.
I used cheese only once; spread it in the middle.
I use thawed frozen corn instead of canned, along with the creamed corn.
 
Love them both and @debodun that's the same recipe I use for corn pudding. I could eat a whole pan in one sitting all by myself. I do fudge it a bit...there's almost nothing that can't be improved with cheese and chopped green chilies. Jussayin.

I add chopped green chilies to corn chowder, too. Want a little more color? Throw in some diced pimentos.

I know, they are so sweet! I loved their video from a few months ago when they went to that country store. I even looked for a website for it but they don't have one.
 
In the olden days when I still did a lot of canning, corn relish was one of the things I did, along with dilled green beans. Yum.
 
I love corn chowder and make my own from fresh corn on the cob. It's delicious and worth the effort.
